TIM
TIM - Traffic Information Memory
The unit has a digital voice memory in which up to four traffic announcements with a dura- tion of max. four minutes in all are automati- cally recorded.
The oldest announcements are deleted de- pending on the space needed for the latest announcement.
If an announcement is longer than four min- utes, “Overflow” appears on the display at the end of four minutes to indicate that the entire announcement could not be recorded.
If a new traffic announcement is made during playback of the TIM, playback is interrupted and the new announcement recorded.
Traffic announcements more than four hours old when the unit is switched on are automat- ically deleted.
Danger of damage to the remote an- tenna at the car wash.
An automatic remote antenna stays fully extended when TIM is activated even when the car radio is switched off.
Damage can be caused if the remote an- tenna remains extended at a car wash.
Please read the section “Interrupt TIM record standby”.
Switching TIM on/off
You can switch the TIM function on and off when the car radio is on.
➮Press the TIM button 6for approx. one second.
The current status appears briefly on the dis- play:
● “TIM 2H” | = TIM is switched on |
● “TIM OFF” = TIM is switched off.
When TIM is switched on, the traffic an- nouncements of a set traffic radio station are recorded for two hours after the unit is switched off.
Recording traffic announcements
When the unit is switched on, traffic an- nouncements are automatically recorded if a traffic information station is tuned in.
When the unit is switched off, traffic announce- ments are recorded for two hours if TIM is switched on and a traffic information station is tuned in.
If, when you switch on your radio, it is tuned to a station which does not itself broadcast traffic information and the TIM function is ac- tivated, it will automatically search for a traffic information station.
Altering TIM record standby time
You can alter the time your unit is on record standby when switched off from two to 24 hours.
When TIM is activated, “TIM 2 H” will always appear on the display when the car radio is switched off.
In order to alter the TIM record standby time to 24 hours,
➮press the TIM button 6when the car radio is off.
“TIM 24H” will appear briefly on the display. This indicates that the TIM function has been set at max 24 hours for one single occasion.
A remote antenna remains extended for as long as the TIM function is activated.
Each time the car radio is switched off, the record standby time is reduced to 2 hours, to protect the vehicle battery.
The connected remote antenna re- mains extended while the TIM function is activated.
